Perched dramatically above Bali's most spectacular coastline, Hidden Hills Villas presents a luxurious retreat that transforms the typical Uluwatu experience into something truly extraordinary. As a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World in partnership with Hilton, this exclusive collection of just 14 uniquely designed villas offers a perfect blend of world-class design, personalized service, and authentic Balinese hospitality.

What makes Hidden Hills truly special is that no two villas are alike. Each residence draws inspiration from different global destinations while incorporating traditional Balinese elements. Private pools, lush gardens, and dedicated butler service come standard, but the personalized touches – from handwritten welcome notes to curated playlists – elevate the experience beyond typical luxury accommodations.

The story behind this clifftop sanctuary adds another layer of intrigue. Swiss-Malaysian Actor, TV host, and entrepreneur Max Loong, is the founder of Hidden Hills Villas. Max built a successful career in entertainment, starring in films, hosting shows, and founding businesses. With his mother, who is passionate about design, they originally planned to settle in Bali, but when they discovered this stunning location, they were drawn to its beauty. The land was larger than they needed, inspiring them to create something extraordinary—a boutique luxury resort. Max is a certified sommelier with a deep passion for fine wines and luxury hospitality, which he integrates into the experience at his hotelier business.

During our stay at the magnificent Saint Barts Villa, we experienced a seamless blend of Caribbean elegance and Balinese craftsmanship. As our butler swung open the grand wooden doors, we were immediately captivated by the breath-taking expanse of the Indian Ocean. Each morning, we savored freshly brewed coffee on our private terrace, watching as the rising sun painted the water in mesmerizing shades of sapphire and turquoise.

From arrival to departure, every detail at Hidden Hills Villas is thoughtfully considered to provide guests with an effortless and enriching stay. The experience begins with a warm, intuitive welcome, setting the tone for a truly unforgettable retreat. The team takes pride in curating tailor-made moments, from personalized excursions to private celebrations, ensuring that each guest's journey is distinctive and memorable. Under the guidance of General Manager Frank Guglielmo, service excellence is at the heart of every interaction, elevating the guest experience to remarkable heights.

Don't miss dinner at Hidden Gem Restaurant, which has quickly become one of Uluwatu's most sought-after dining destinations. The California and Asian-fusion inspired steakhouse concept deliver perfectly executed dishes using locally sourced ingredients. We recommend securing a table right at sunset – the panoramic ocean views provide a spectacular backdrop as you work your way through their menu.

Wine enthusiasts will particularly appreciate owner & wine director Max Loong's passion project – Bali's largest selection of premium wines available by the glass. With over 45 expertly curated labels and an on-site WSET-trained sommelier, each meal becomes an opportunity for remarkable pairings that complement the stunning setting.

The recently unveiled Hidden Gem Spa deserves special mention for travelers seeking rejuvenation. Treatment rooms overlook the ocean, and therapists blend traditional Balinese techniques with premium products. After experiencing their signature four-hand massage, we spent the afternoon lounging by our private pool, feeling completely renewed.

● VIP access to Uluwatu Temple ceremonies
